TURLOCK, CALIF -- MARCH 4, 2002 -- Visualware Inc. today announced the release of eMailTrackerPro, software designed to assist in detecting the true origin of emails, helping users in the identification and reporting of spammers and verification of the email source for security purposes.

eMailTrackerPro analyzes email header information to provide the IP address of the machine that sent the email, along with other clues to its origin, such as the machine name, time zone and geographical region. Many spammers employ the technique of "misdirection" to disguise their identities and locations. eMailTrackerPro helps uncover misdirection to expose the true origin of the email.

"As the use of email continues to grow exponentially, tools to help users validate the email source have become essential," said Julian Palmer, Visualware's chief marketing officer. "eMailTrackerPro provides a quick and easy-to-use means to help identify the real sender."

A plug-in for Microsoft Outlook adds a button to the Outlook toolbar for one-click email tracking. For other email programs, header information may be easily pasted into eMailTrackerPro for quick analysis. A built-in location database tracks emails to a country or region of the world and shows the location on a global map. eMailTrackerPro also provides hyperlink integration with VisualRoute, Visualware's popular graphical traceroute product, to provide more detailed geographic traces and further pinpoint the source of the email.

Pricing for eMailTrackerPro starts at $29.95. Free 15-day trial versions of the product may be downloaded from www.visualware.com.

I've been tracking it down by looking at the headers myself... I'm not getting anywhere because there is only one IP, and it is down whenever I check it... The spam I'm talking about is the college degree thing... Always a different IP, and the server is never up...

Anyways, it sounds like a bit of effort was put into it. It may not work to track down all spam, but looks like it could be used to validate the e-mails that you do want... Great post...

RiOtEr - I think that's because it did the search from a server in the US (if you're replying to SDK's post)... At the top right corner of the page, it shows the name of the server you are tracing from... There is a link that lets you select a server closer to you above the part where you put in the IP...

Nice link... I finally found a PC that sent me spam (online), and at least I know where it's coming from...
